Abstract

A flexible radar support for absorbing vibration deviation comprises a support base and a support top cover that are engaged with each other in an interlocking manner. A housing space for arranging a radar is formed between the support base and the support top cover. The support base includes: a centrally arranged base center, and a base edge circumferentially arranged around the base center. The base edge and the base center are connected through four flexible structures that form U-shaped cantilever beams protruding towards the support top cover. With the flexible radar support provided, and with the design of U-shaped flexible structures, where an automobile body vibrates at a large amplitude, the flexible radar support can still absorb swaying in the up and down, and left and right directions during the course of driving, thereby reducing the impact of the automobile body's vibrations on the detection precision of a radar.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A flexible radar support for absorbing vibration deviation, characterized in that, it comprises a support base and a support top cover that are engaged with each other in an interlocking manner, a housing space for arranging a radar being formed between the support base and the support top cover, the support base comprising: a centrally arranged base center, and a base edge circumferentially arranged around the base center, the base edge and the base center being connected through four flexible structures that form U-shaped cantilever beams protruding towards the support top cover, wherein the U-shaped cantilever beams protrude perpendicular to a main plane of the support base along a longitudinal direction. 
     
     
       2. The flexible radar support according to  claim 1 , wherein the four U-shaped cantilever beams are symmetrically arranged in four directions of up, down, left, and right directions, respectively. 
     
     
       3. The flexible radar support according to  claim 1 , wherein four corner regions between the base edge and the base center are hollowed out and disconnected. 
     
     
       4. The flexible radar support according to  claim 3 , wherein first protruding tabs, extending towards the base edge and keeping spaced from the base edge, are arranged in the four corner regions of the base center, the first protruding tabs being provided with screw holes. 
     
     
       5. The flexible radar support according to  claim 4 , wherein second protruding tabs for cooperating with the first protruding tabs are arranged in four corner regions of the support top cover, the second protruding tabs being provided with screw holes. 
     
     
       6. The flexible radar support according to  claim 5 , wherein the support base and the support top cover are fastened to each other by self-tapping screws. 
     
     
       7. The flexible radar support according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall thickness of a side wall of the U-shaped cantilever beams is 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm. 
     
     
       8. The flexible radar support according to  claim 1 , wherein the wall thickness of a bent portion of the U-shaped cantilever beams is 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm. 
     
     
       9. The flexible radar support according to  claim 1 , wherein the radius of a round angle of a bent portion of the U-shaped cantilever beams is 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm. 
     
     
       10. The flexible radar support according to  claim 1 , wherein the angle formed by two side walls of the U-shaped cantilever beams is 40° to 50°.
